The Christ We Share

Occurring
Every Tuesday at for 1 hour
Venue
Holy Trinity
Address
High Street Amblecote Stourbridge, DY8 4DL, United Kingdom

What picture do you have in mind of Our Lord Jesus Christ?

These five sessions are based around a pack of images collected by the Church Mission Society, which includes representations of Christ drawn from many different cultures and times. How do they compare to our own ideas about Jesus? What unexpected details do we catch a glimpse of when we look from another person's point of view?

We are all invited into a deeper relationship with Christ and with our sisters and brothers around the world. Everyone is welcome to join this discussion group for Lent.

Maundy Thursday: Sung Mass of the Last Supper, with washing of feet, then vigil until midnight

Occurring
for 4 hours
Venue
Holy Trinity
Address
High Street Amblecote Stourbridge, DY8 4DL, United Kingdom

Maundy Thursday is the day when Christians remember Jesus sharing the Last Supper with his disciples before his death on Good Friday. It gets its name from the Latin word 'mandare', from which we get the word 'command'. Christians remember Jesus's command: "Love one another as I have loved you."

At the Last Supper Jesus washed his disciples' feet - an action which is recreated during this Mass to remind everyone present that we should serve one another with humility.

After all who wish to receive Holy Communion have done so, the remaining consecrated elements are placed in the beautiful Garden of Repose which has been created on the side altar. The sanctuary and high altar are stripped bare, the lights are dimmed, and the vigil begins. This is a time of silent prayer interspersed with Bible readings, remembering Christ's mental agony as he faced his approaching death. Although the vigil continues until midnight, you may leave at any time (please go out in silence).

Easter Eve: Vigil of Readings, New Fire, Exsultet and First Mass of Easter

Occurring
for 1 hour, 45 mins
Venue
Holy Trinity
Address
High Street Amblecote Stourbridge, DY8 4DL, United Kingdom

This service is a real experience of passing from darkness to light, offering hope to all.

From earliest times Christians have gathered through the night of Easter to recall the story of God’s saving work, from the creation of the world through to the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Easter Vigil marks the end of the emptiness of Holy Saturday, and leads us into the celebration of Christ’s resurrection.

The congregation moves outside for the lighting of the Easter fire, from which the Easter candle is lit. A joyful procession returns into the now brightly lit church; the Exsultet - an ancient hymn of triumph and rejoicing - is sung; the Easter Gospel is proclaimed with joy and splendour; and the First Mass of Easter is celebrated with music, flowers, bells, colours and many shouts of "Alleluia! Christ is risen!"
